Haus K20
Complete restauration of a listed craftsman’s house
Munich
May 2002 – Oct 2003
Facade award Munich 2004
Small and subtle, that’s what it was supposed to be. The unimpressive annex of the building is called K20 and listed, since it was built around 1800 in Munichs city part Haidhausen as one of the oldest craftsman’s houses. It could only be enlarged downwards and had to be restored completely. The priority was a sensitive handling of the precious historically built volume as well as artistic measures. The material for the windows, doors, floors and stairs is consistently larch wood. Black and white give a peaceful atmosphere to the interior. Clear and simple details function in their simplicity.
Therefore the facade prize in 2004 is even more gratifying, as it granted this building a quiet humbleness among all the listed buildings of Munich.
